ALTERED GOLDEN BOOK TUTORIAL Video  

I have hoarded my LGB’S for a few years now. I started making junk journals a few years ago. I love working with them. Back some time ago, I found a whole set of the Walt Disney books, encyclopedia’s. I bought the whole set and made my grand daughter a journal for her memories. I used the books from my son’s birth year and my DIL’s birth year to decorate it with. I think mom and dad loved it way more than she did because she was just a year old. It turned out so cute!

I have containers of golden books from when my kids were little. They are in their 40s and my daughter still won’t give them up. I did manage to confiscate a few of them and was wondering what I could do with them for journaling. Make it a memorable book for her. Thank you for this great video

I’ve watched about 5 other golden book jj you tube videos. This is the best! The most clear! I’ll be back to watch it again and others of yours!

I am so glad I stumbled upon this video today. Without a doubt, my favorite! I love how you kept the integrity of the story. The jingly ribbons on the spine are so adorable! Literally the cutest I've seen! And aside from a little time, seems to be the simplest I've seen. And hooray for no sewing! The Golden spine? Brilliant! And...we have the same sense of humor. I think you may be my spirit animal and I can't wait to try one of these beauties! If I start now, maybe my grands will get one for Christmas!

So nice to see you preserve the storyline and the golden spine. Thanks for sharing your techniques.

Excellent instruction video for these womderful books !! Thank you so much!!!

Love the tutorial! Thank you! Using a heat tool will bring up the golden book spine sooo easily...its magic!

Thank you for sharing your mistakes! I know I will make a lot! This showed me everything I needed to know.

Thank you so much for this!! I’m just getting into junk journaling and You make it easy. 😊

I’m a beginner and you shared some great tips!

just watched.....you make it look sooooo easy! lol lol

I just stumbled across your channel today and I love, love, love, this technique for altering LGB. I,too, have 30 or 40 waiting to be done and will be trying this soon. Thank you!

So many other vids I've watched are cutting away, throwing out, just getting rid of the gold binding which is what makes it the icon Golden Book in the 1st place. So thanks for preserving that part of it

Hey, from Regina ! Just found your channel. JJ is addicting!!

Best golden book tutorial I've seen!! Thank you so much for sharing.

I’m excited about making some of these journals. I need to go search for some Little Golden Books. Thank you for this tutorial.

I know this video is 3 years old and you probably already know this…but you can heat the gold foil up with a heat gun and it will peel up. Makes it so much easier to get the staples out.

Also, great idea for adding the beads and bobbles!!! Never seen that done and LOVE 💕 it! Thx

Wow! Really cute! Love the charms on the binding!

Love them! Great tutorial too.!

I really enjoyed your tutorial 👏🏻👏🏻 I love the way you did the binder, have seen other ways and think I like yours the best! Can’t wait to do one! Thanks so much for explaining everything so well! 👌🥰

What a beautiful book! I will be attempting this! Thank you for the lesson!

i love them ..

I have watched a lot of videos on putting them together and yours is the best way. So many are removing the signature binding “golden” book bind. It just floors me. Then they use binding rings. Uhg. Thank u for doing yours the best. They r beautiful

I enjoyed this tutorial. The best Ive seen and explained for LGBs and adding dangles. TFS Im inspired. 👌📜⭐

Now that is so cute♥️♥️

Lots of creative ways to use golden books

Best Little Golden Book video I have found! Thank you! I have been collecting LGB's for a while and had no idea they were just stapled together! 😮 While watching your video, I deconstructed my first one the proper way!

Very good tutorial. I am starting my very first Little Golden Book journal. Marnel

Such a cool way to up-cycle books, Tanya. I have my sons little Golden books, Mickey Mouse books and all of his Dr. Seuss books from when he was little.... he’s 28 now, so yeah, the memories are real. 💙. Thanks for the tutorial. I was making cards and watching at the same time. Hey look at that, we crafted together. 🥳

I had a set of those larger Disney books for my kids years ago. Still have a couple. Mine were sold at Kroger. A new one would come out every week. You could also buy the ones from prior weeks.

oh wow . i just did a raggedy ann one this way today !

Not the worst tutorial. I like that you mess up some. Shows us the real process

Hi Tanya, great turorial. LOve your books. I am a new subscriber. Hugs Beate from Germany

Wow! I happened across this video. I didn’t know this was a thing. I have a whole storage container full of those Little Golden Books.

You freeze in Canada? I'm moving there, therefore, from Minnesota. where it's not cold enough for me! 😂

Beautiful work. !❤️🙏🏻✨💯🥰you sound like me! Dollar tree has really strong packing tape that’s brown. I reinforce with fabric. I’m from Washington State.

just found your channel I am a fellow Canadian too! in the sunny Okanagan New Subscriber

So I’m curious I have these golden books too and yours turned out very cute. But when I’m curious about is, what do you do junk journals once they’re done

Hi I enjoyed your video so much I am a new subscriber to your channel. Can you tell me how thick the chipboard is that you are using for the spine? Can't wait to create a new JJ your way. Thank you!

My crafting space is in my unfinished basement too.

You can use a blow dryer to loosen, and even remove, the golden strip so it won’t tear.

New to your channel. Love your technique in altering books❤️💯✨🙏🏻🥰 Cropodile.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Just found your You Tube. I have questions. Are your journals used as personal use to document life events only? Or do you also sell them? I guess I'm asking for what purpose are they created?

Ah great way to use chipboard scraps

Hello from Cape Breton, it’s great to find another paper crafter in Canada,lol. I know there’s lots out there but not many on UTube . Thanks for the great tutorial, l love Little Golden books especially Christmas ones! Do you sell them?

Fantastic tutorial! I feel so much more confident to take apart my golden book to make it into a JJ now! Thank you so much 😁

Hello. I just ran across a 3 Little Golden Books Classic Collection. It’s like 10x12! Huge! It has The Shy Little Kitten, The Little Red Hen, and The Little Red Caboose! I’m a little nervous starting it. Any advice?

Hello can you leave a link for your hole punch. And the name of it. love you video New subscriber.

What do you charge for those to sell.?

Where did you purchase your chipboard? Do you think a cereal box/packaging will work?

I appreciate you keeping the Golden Books relatively intact. It just breaks my heart to see those little treasures destroyed for projects that will be outdated sooner than later. I just do not understand such little disregard for the sweet memories of childhood. Barbara in Texas 😔

Where can I find that hole punch tool?

So glad I watched your video before dismantling my books. This is so much better than using 3 rings. I’m heading to VV to buy up all their golden books. Thanks for the inspiration ❤️ beautiful!!

TFS! I will definitely be altering the Golden books that I have. Nice to meet another Canadian! I was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec and in December 2915 moved to Northern Alberta.

My binder is not great.

Are you still making these?

Hello, Love your video just wanted to reach out and let you know that using a heat gun along the ‘golden signature spine’ will loosen glue so you can remove in one piece 😀x

Super fun and cute! TFS *phyllis

Your destroying those story pages by cutting them off. You need too look at other crafters for a better alternative

We all due respect I liked while I was watching but I have a very hard time with "oh my God" so I won't be following you. Just my opinion and belief in God. I don't need negative comments just because you don't agree.
